Maingear Taps Kepler Graphics without Thrashing Your Wallet

Boutique system builder Maingear was quick to pounce on Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card, giving gamers an affordable GPU upgrade path that offers respectable performance without an obscene price tag. The GeForce GTX 660 Ti is purportedly 1.5 times faster than the previous generation GTX 560 Ti and twice as power efficient.

"Nvidia's Kepler architecture is more than robust; it's the creation of a standard," says Wallace Santos, CEO and Founder of Maingear. "With the debut of TXAA across the Kepler family, gamers will find a noticeable improvement in graphics for the latest games, and I feel that our customers should be able to experience that without breaking the bank."

Maingear said it's adding the new graphics card option on each and every one of its custom desktop solutions, and also plans to introduce two limited edition F131 and Potenza class rigs with the 660 Ti as the centerpiece. You can find more information on these and other systems on Maingear's landing page for its 660 Ti equipped desktops.
